Arrests:
11:39am 300 Blk Arbor Robbery
Recently, the department issued a bulletin to all officers to
be on the lookout for a quartet of armed robbers who were wanted for stealing
money from Bank of America customers using ATM’s. The suspects would wait until
the customer entered his or her PIN number and then, when the machine disgorged
the funds, steal the money. Many of the victim’s were elderly citizens. The
department identified one of the suspects and Ingleside officers Archilla, Tom,
Pacchetti and Phillips went to his home on Arbor Street. The suspect’s mother
answered the door and said her son was not home. However, during that
conversation, Officer Archilla spotted the suspect walking down the sidewalk
near the home. He, along with the other officers, detained the suspect and
arrested him for armed robbery, conspiracy, and elder abuse. Report number:
150984697
Serious Incidents:
7:19pm 100 Blk Highland Hot Prowl Burglary
A man and his girlfriend were working in the ground floor
office of their home when they heard the front gate open, then the front door.
His dog started barking so the man went to see who was entering his home.
Inside the front door he saw a man pick up a package off floor and run away.
The victim chased the suspect down Highland Street until the suspect ducked
into a neighbor’s driveway. There, the suspect dropped the package, and
continued to flee on foot East on Highland. Ingleside units searched the area
for the suspect without success. Report number: 160050642
